The sponge fingers are store bought allowing quick and easy preparation of this dessert.  We don’t add any sugar as we find the natural sweetness of the strawberries and the biscuits are sufficient.  If you have a super sweet tooth you could add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar while cooking the strawberries.

Ingredients

  • 30 strawberries – washed, leaves removed, each sliced into 4
  • 1/4 cup water
